I sort of lost interest around the middle of the first world and stopped entirely around the midpoint of the second. Cute little blue fox with the inexplicable ability to channel the elemental powers of plasma and current after what we can only presume in consuming batteries? Sure, seems like a cute premise for a character. Captured by equally inexplicable robots for what we can only assume are nefarious purposes? Sure, Dr.Eggman might be contracting out work or something and I suppose it's as good a rationale as any to need to escape some sort of facility. The art is a little bit cutesy and really feels like it was ripped out of some game factory clip art book but it's at least smooth and crisp so things are easily distinguishable.
But.
I really hated how long it took the fox to land after it jumped, and the sheer airtime he acquired killed me in the platforming segments more than any other enemy in the game. If he jumped for as long as you held the button up to the max height of what the current standard is, maybe it would be better. As it stands I would have preferred to need a lot of little jumps in compared to the afternoon I spent waiting for some spike balls or something to kill me when I realized I had mis-judged yet ANOTHER spot where I thought the character might have been quick enough to get over/around something. I wouldn't mind if it was fast paced player murder, I like both Super Meat Boy and I Wanna Be the Guy, but the platforming in those was quick and clever. This game seems to have blocks in place almost specifically meant to prevent people from speed running or playing quickly, and I understand that patience is a virtue and everything but I really would prefer to be running around like some awesome zappy action hero over Vulpes Fulger platform sitting simulator 2017. The puzzles felt more like checklists than challenges, and I'd really prefer if something is FORCING me to to sit still and plan that I at least have to actually solve a problem in the down time.
TLDR: Art is cute, concept isn't imaginative or engaging enough to carry interest on its own, platforming is less than great.
